Learned: How I wanna make Shrimp & Grits. I have been putting the cart before the horse. The tobacco industry is starting to push candy-flavored cigarettes. 3.
3+1: My brother’s digestion. CPAP technology. Co-creating with magical creators. My ability to spiritually bypass and make freaky shit alright. 3+1.
Seems: Like having a CPAP machine a few years ago would have made a big difference. Like I’m getting pelted by countless email asking me to DO something and donate 3 dollars and I might want to make them all go away. Like $50 bills look counterfeit. 3.
The Three Questions:
Ask “What if I made this Easy?”
Ask “What about this is REHAB?”
Ask “What if I made this Important?”
Top Three Desirable Habits that want to strengthen:
✔︎ Upgrade: BE willing to do things differently than I think I can.
✔︎ Use LIFE as Rehab (like going with the flow).
✔︎ Embrace community while BY putting self-care first. (I owe nothing, they are there gladly, with or without me.)
Note: If you start a conversation, establish a way to remember that it’s still active. (Stage 2, remember/forget)
Thinking about: How one can’t easily see how they’re putting the cart before the horse on their own. Ever since the #METOO movement started, I’ve been pondering the question, “But what do we do with their art?” but not just of the molesters, but also of those who committed other infringements resulting in confederate statuary and Nazi sculpture, for example. 3.
On-purpose ways of being, continued: Courageous, radical, confronting and enchanted with forgiveness, peace, freedom and unconditional love in the background always.
Accomplished: Got the Medi-Cal paperwork in the mail (always an accomplishment). Made it through another Standard Pacific Time Winter. De-pilled one throw pillow. 3.

Key Idea 3: You can’t change what you don’t notice.The vast majority of our actions occur automatically, or in response to external stimuli. The more conscious we become of how we’re feeling and of the assumptions we’re making, the more we can make intentional choices about how we want to behave. Self-awareness allows us to be more authentic and effective in relationships with others, and helps us to be more effective at work, and to add more value in the world.
Q: What have you noticed recently about how you automatically operate that you knew would be good to upgrade but perhaps ignored?
A: Well, seeing my life circumstances through the filter of “pestered, beleaguered and gripey” and indulging that. I also have been self-indulgent with less-than-wholesome foods and overly ample TV time. I have been locked in a struggle of putting the cart before the horse when it comes to resting and sleep. I spend energy while resting. I am self-indulgent. I ignore best practices.

Watched/Watching: “I Married an Angel” on TCM with Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy – these movies help me sleep. Also watched “Kramer v. Kramer” which I hadn’t seen since it came out. Terribly good, sad. The weekend Binge watch: “The Mist” plus the movie “The Cloverfield Paradox” on Netflix. Next: “Radius.” Rehab is hard!
